Auburn United Methodist Church Medical Team

A medical team from
Auburn United Methodist Church came here to hold medical and dental clincs on
December 13, 14, and 15. The first clinic day the teachers worked on their
report cards. Here are Node Transtama and Gelia Denis preparing the report cards
for the students in the Kindergarten 1 class.

We purchased a
megaphone to help in getting out the word for events here at Coram Deo. Here is
Eryl preparing to head down to the Cite Jeremie, Cite Aux-Cayes area.

Here is the waiting
area.

For the dental
patients, Rudy wrote the patients names into the patient log.

Macdonald and Jn. Eddy
helped out with translating at the registration table.

The kitchen area was
used as a consultation area.

We have a large
kitchen. One day we might be able to have a physiotherapy room in the kitchen.
That is what I am praying for.

The living room was an
active place for pharmacy and consultations.

Students from
Christian Light School helped out with translating.

These patients are
waiting at the pharmacy station.

The dental clinic was
a busy place! Lots of people wanted to obtain dental care.

The dental station
used the back part of the living room.

Here is Ed's dental
chair. The team made good use of it!

Here is a patient
preparing to meet the dentist!

The team and the
translators interacted well.

Speaking english is
an advantage for Haitians. More opportunities are available for them with the
many teams and missions that come to Haiti.

A young mother with
her baby is waiting at the registration table.

Rudy is a good
organizer! Here he is standing by the gate and showing people where to
sit.

It is great to watch
the medical teams work. Lots of people receive medical care :)

Jn. Eddy is
explaining the clinic procedures to the people in the waiting area.

The last day more
children came to the clinic. The last day is always the busiest days. Word gets
around. We had to turn away people at the gate the last day.

Here is a busy
kitchen/consultation area!

A lot of people can
sit in our kitchen at one time :)

This is the pharmacy
station.

Lots of consultations
going on at the same time!

The registration
table kept busy.

Yonel is keeping a
watchful eye on the waiting area.

The team came with a
portable dental equipment. This enabled the dentist to do his work. Ed has one
of these units as well. We are praying for a way to get the donated dental
equipment from a dentist in Wyoming to Haiti so that we can have all the
equipment for a dentist to do his work, even an xray machine!

While the clinic
was going on Blackbeard the cat and Lucky the dog dozed on my bed :)
